Valid Document or Not

[cpc0506]

Here is my scenario:

Company A contracts with Company B as their EGTRRA document provider. Company A provides a partially completed Adoption Agreement to Client X. Client X completes the Adoption Agreement, signs it and returns it to Company A. Company A confirms that they did receive a signed copy of the Adoption Agreement.

Here is the kicker: In the instruction letter to Client X, Company A tells the client to send the signed Adoption Agreement directly to Company B who will then generate the SPD. Well, it appears that Company B never received a copy of the signed Adoption Agreement so no SPD is generated.

Client has come to us for assistance. Does the client have a valid EGTRRA document or not?

I am still trying to find out who Client X paid to provide the document? The client is a bit 'green' and any time I ask a question, they get very nervous.....

Any suggestions? Thanks.

The validity of the document is not dependent on who received it or whether or not an SPD was prepared. If the document was validly completed and executed, it would be a valid plan document.
